Long Description:

Winter Haze is part of
the Seasons-in-Montréal series of murals. Artists David Guinn and Phillip Adams
use the colors of purple and white to depict a snow and ice covered park-like
landscape. Two men in winter clothing are carrying on a conversation while
standing under a leafless, snow-covered tree. In the background a large group of
people appear to be ice skating in an open area around a few small conifer
trees.

About Me

My interest in travel and exploration took me to all 50 states, much of Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, as well as some of Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico. As I got older my outdoor activities shifted from hiking to orienteering to geocaching to waymarking.
